- Henri, a voice of sound reason. The entire Usenet is plagued with this
- arrogant/self-righteous problem. Certainly we know what Jesus had to
- say about these attitudes.
-
- BTW, may I add that common sense gets thrown out the window with some
- of these intellectual word games. For instance, common sense would tell
- you that a prophesy of a young woman having a child is no sign, now
- a VIRGIN having a child is indeed a sign and a miracle.

- Keep up the posting, maybe someone will get the message...
